because of the things he's saying about where AI goes in the future, that the brain works like an LLM, and in particular his doomer-ism about LLMs.

he was wrong about many DL paradigms and didn't contribute in any way to the advances that brought us LLMs for at least the last decade, but now since he won the Nobel (undeservedly imo) his wrong opinions get publicity and misinform the public and decision makers.

i think it's the mark of an intellectual to recognize when the world has moved on so far that your idea of it is outdated and wrong. he missed that mark.
Maybe I'm just not smart/eloquent enough to come up with a response like GP, but often I'll have arguments in my head where it looks like:

- make a point A

- oh, counterexample with point B

- ehh that's a good point logically...

but I'll just go with point A anyways, especially when point A is something generally optimistic, and point B is cynical.

I don't like going into social arguments for this reason - it's very easy (and often logically correct) to create an ad-absurdum counter-argument to a lot of our general social beliefs.

But to be a functioning human being, sometimes you just have to take the optimistic choice regardless. I know that certainly when I was constantly listening to B, I was depressed out of my mind; would rather be "delusional and stubborn" on some things than depressed.

Twice two might not be five, but it keeps your sanity.
Hopefully by now everyone knows the "crazy feminist lady" picture, which was a still frame from a pretty normal conversation where she wasn't even really supporting the feminist side that much, but got spread around the Internet by anti-feminists for years.

I fully agree. I would also add that sending info which app you have just started and what are you use paterns when you use an app to the company you install software from withought your consent (which should be a choice, not requirement to run an app) is spying and works like malware that observes all the time what you do!

And look what happens when you have for example personalDNSfilter on Android or Free Firewall by Evorim on Windows. What a fun to see all this! BTW, remember to block Free Firewall from NET access also. ;P

However with this "brilant idea" ASUS went beyond all others!
You’re right about flipping the switch and then living that decision for the next 20plus years. Once you make that choice, you’re in it for the long haul.

I’m kind of an extreme example because I took the job to heart and designed a whole new life around providing the best developmental foundation for my children I could figure out how to.

For us,that was choosing to pivot from our comfortable cntracting business into a life intentionally filled with challenges , situations, hardships, triumphs, and struggles that we would overcome as a family.

It was way outside of my comfort zone, to be sure, but the point was to give them actual life experience and skills so that when they became adults they would be as prepared as possible to manage situations, overcome obstacles, and manage risk.

It was often uncomfortable but rewarding beyond measure.
This is a nice parable, but in my experience, people who see their self-image reflected in this story can be just as difficult to work with. They often view themselves as smart and quietly capable, the unsung heroes keeping things running with little compensation and even less credit, while perceiving incompetence and unworthiness in everyone around them.

These individuals may think of themselves as “nice guys,” but their unwavering confidence in their own infallibility blinds them to the distinction between doing things wrong and doing things differently. They dismiss documentation, consensus building, and communication with non-technical colleagues as wastes of time—then wonder why their accomplishments go unrecognized or unappreciated.
I grew up on Gordon’s rant of the week on the Maximum PC podcast. I’ll miss him.
I was afraid you were going to say that ;). Thanks for the sage advice. I think that "safety inspector" would not be a good career choice for people like myself, then. Methinks Boeing and OceanGate had been in the news recently with similar safety attitudes. Oh, well. Live and learn.
Thank you @dustingetz
It's based on the faulty theory that you can make friends at work.

Which isn't to say you can't but...it's work. It is first and foremost the lifeline holding up your entire financial existence. It is non-optional.
Nix has a bunch of different build functions for rust packages and they generally involve reading the Cargo.lock file in order to figure did out what dependencies need to be downloaded. On the other side, there is pip2nix which generates a lock file in that form of a nix file from a list of python packages, which you then add to git and reference. If python had a commonly used lockfile format this step would be necessary.
I must ask, in your github readme you say "[Planned] Downloading the content for offline reading." but what does that mean in the context of a self hosted application? Isn't the data already downloaded - via the other features such as "Full page archival" and "Automatic fetching".

I guess one small request - could the chrome/firefox extension include a way to transfer the page data from the browser, as it's being displayed to the user? (as in, transfer the entire page/html instead of the page's link). This would likely result in much better support for nasty sites like twitter and such that require credentials, etc..!

I don’t think they are in the majority, but it doesn’t have to be typical social activities like sports. I spend time WFH dropping and picking up my 3yo from pre school. In doing so I meet a number of parents from the community.
Interesting, but what's the intended takeaway, other than "Hardware is hard?"
Thank you, but that personal finance software isn't in the category I'm asking about.
Sheesh. A little nihilist much?

Yes, modern capitalist society is really great at making human needs scarce (friends, relationships) and human wants abundant (junk food, video games).

But I don't think there's really a point in stewing too much about the society we live in, it's easier to accept that this is our reality, and that we have to work extra hard for the things in life that matter. Giving up only creates a much worse situation for yourself.

People back in the day had to do extremely difficult manual labor all day long, think of it as though the "extremely difficult labor" has changed into social labor - from making friends to dating to maintaining relationships.

And you know you don't have to be a workaholic, right? I work 9-5, I have time for other things in life. I have a few friends at the office but I'm not thinking "work is life" ever.
The difference is, ICE car parts don't generally require replacement of everything at once. They can be made by 3rd parties, and defective parts usually break in boring ways. Batteries have none of these nice properties. You have to change the whole thing at once, it requires proprietary high tech to make a compatible battery, and any defect could burn down your house or a parking garage with unextinguishable metal fires. Yikes!

It is possible for an EV to be serviced and remain operable for long enough to become an antique, but no modern EVs are built that way. Most modern ICE cars aren't built that way either but they have a much better chance at longevity because their parts don't really have a limited shelf life, and there is a large aftermarket for many of them.
> share your interests (which is just my work currently)

That’s the part I’d work on fixing. Friendships generally start based on shared interests, and you definitely need something in your life other than work.
VistA was useful in it's time but it's hardly world class anymore. There were fundamental problems with the platform stack and data model which made it effectively impossible to keep moving forward.
I am telling you as a professional and an expert - there is almost no difference in the motors and battery systems.

Nothing is serviceable currently.

If you have a bad battery, it is highly likely your vehicle will be totaled.
Right, but I'm trying to ask a more interesting question. What are actual real-world security problems where you're comfortable using PGP, and what are some problems where that's not enough for you? As someone else on the thread alluded to: what's missing from a lot of discussion of PGP is "what are you using it for". "Secure email" can't be the answer; what exactly are you emailing?

>The same was true for the ICE vehicle third-party repair industry 100 years ago.

Awesome, in 100 years your EV vehicle won’t be totaled if the batteries dies.

We diagnose failure, we don’t repair for customers.
And “analogous” means “similar”, not identical.

So what’s your point?
I barely have any friends. Being a single father is incredibly isolating.

Doing group activities is the key, but finding a group that can include me and my son is very rare. Also, our neighbors are incredibly impolite. We're hoping to move homes soon, and I am hoping the change in perspective will have a good impact. So I would add neighborhood community also has an impact on socializing.

Regular but minimal. It’s not entirely by choice, but my social skills—never great—have degraded considerably over the last 4 years.
It makes sense for brands that are not big enough to develop their own power train.
For example, whoever buys the Jeep brand next might put a Wrangler body on a BYD powertrain.

I, for one, have never even used ChatGPT. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

I'm a software engineer, pretty highly regarded as very skilled by everyone around me, almost entirely self-taught (programming since age 7), and have worked at 2 household-name companies (and now a spin-off of a third). The only computer science class I've ever taken was a PhD-level introduction to machine learning, in the mid ’90.

I've never seen any task _where the details matter_ that AI appeared to be any good at. For example, I've seen a coworker trying to demo for me how quickly an AI coding assistant could fix a bug in a parser's state machine… but the AI made a mistake, which I spotted immediately.
I bought a dock for my Mac mini. It works great, but I do notice that it takes a few seconds/minutes after waking up before the NVMe SSD is mounted, which means I can't keep any of my dotfiles on it.
Relativistic quantum fields are universal entanglement embezzlers
Who said anything about infinite time? What the poster (you're responding to) meant was due to the nature of our profession's leniency about tech debt and "go go go" push from non-tech (PM, SM etc.) it's always lesser time than needed.
In theory yes, but electric motors can be very complex in much the same way that ICE engines can be. Batteries of the kind used in modern EVs are single-use and far too expensive and dangerous to service. The level of effort required to maintain an EV past 20 years will be way higher than that required to maintain an ICE car that long. Very few ICE parts have a limited shelf life, and the ones that do are either consumable or else easily substituted such as rubber seals and belts.

This analysis is really just relevant for cars that someone would want to keep well-maintained for 20+ years at significant expense. Most EVs are boring so I don't expect them to be in that category either. But if you did really get attached to one, you might have to rebuild it from scratch with totally different internals to keep it going, and it would only look like the original on the outside.
> Additionally, Delaware health officials reported a case of H5N1 this week in a person without known exposure to poultry or cattle. But CDC testing could not confirm the virus was bird flu, so the agency considers it a “probable” case.

They test, presumably more than once. They don't get a positive. But that gets categorized as "probable"? Why is that?
Thank you @fragmede Their website is impressive and they have some useful resources (https://pilot.com/resources#).
I don't know that much about MCTS, but I'd think that since a ladder requires dozens of moves in a row before making any real difference to either player's position, they just don't get sampled if you are sampling randomly and don't know about ladders. You might find that all sampled positions lead to you losing the ladder, so you might as well spend the moves capturing some of your opponent's stones elsewhere?
"Relativistic quantum fields are universal entanglement embezzlers" (2024) https://journals.aps.org/prl/accepted/32073Yd2G141638436cb80... :

> Abstract: Embezzlement of entanglement refers to the counterintuitive possibility of extracting entangled quantum states from a reference state of an auxiliary system (the “embezzler”) via local quantum operations while hardly perturbing the latter. We uncover a deep connection between the operational task of embezzling entanglement and the mathematical classification of von Neumann algebras. Our result implies that relativistic quantum fields are universal embezzlers: Any entangled state of any dimension can be embezzled from them with arbitrary precision. This provides an operational characterization of the infinite amount of entanglement present in the vacuum state of relativistic quantum field theories.

The lowercase formatting reminded me of my uncle who used to write exclusively in uppercase. His reasoning was that lower case letters were superfluous. Also something about how uppercase letters were invented to distinguish between royals and commoners in writing (I'm not sure how true that was).

Funnily enough, he has started publishing academic papers in which he uses proper casing.

Lmao attacking stereotypes with stereotypes.

Please what cities? You are just making up rape stats. That’s makes you the bigger idiot here.

Ohh yeah so much corruption I don’t literally enjoy Zagreb more than any US city I have been to and it’s not even special. Because if this is just have the shittiest argument ever there’s my anecdotal rebuttal.
> That's not actually quite how it works.

What you wrote is not contradicting the parent, who just said that it was “super effective at starving the fire of oxygen”. You just described the mechanism. You also contradict yourself by first saying that halon is inert, and then that it neutralises oxide ions by swapping halogens, which is the opposite of non-reactive. The effect of that is that it immobilises reactive oxygen before it oxidises the fuel. And it indeed does nothing to decrease the temperature, which does mean that the fire restarts as soon as oxygen is re-introduced. I know you’re not wrong, but the delivery could be improved.

Anyway, you can elaborate and provide information without disagreeing with the comment you’re replying to. It’s fine, and often informative.
> So was the law of gravity, but gravity still ruled their lives.

I expected a better response from you.

> The Law of Supply and Demand applies to all economic systems.

False. Well, false for some well known versions of whatever "the law of supply and demand" is.

There are all kinds of reasons why the retail cost of goods are not an inverse linear function of their supply; ditto for the retail cost of labor.

Why do you feel this need to reduce complex systems to vapid platitudes?
When you’re married with a working spouse, it becomes much harder.

Then when you have kids you need to think about where they go to school and you might want to live close enough to grandparents that they can help out. These constraints make living close to work impossible for a huge chunk of people.

Oh, no, not this response again.

The AI is evaluated on the ruleset the AI is trained to play on, which is a Go variant designed to be easier for computers to implement.

The fact that the AI might have won if using a different ruleset is completely irrelevant.

The fact that the AI can be adapted to play in other rulesets, and this is frequently done when playing against human players, is irrelevant.
Not just frowned upon.

Think about the difference it would make if everyone was more aware of the personal cost to them of poverty, homelessness and so forth? In the current world, living in a place that doesn't do things the way the US does can accomplish this (at least temporarily).
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini get everything correct except who is holding the bucket. Even the QvQ attempt in your screenshot would have seemed like complete magic a couple years ago.

Caste system is racism at state level
Yeah. I don't use autocomplete, LSPs, or copilot. You just remember as best you can, choose better variable/type names that aren't a full sentence, etc. Most of my time isn't spent typing.

I do use and really like go-to-definition, though. LSP is one way of doing that (probably the right way) but historically we used tools like "ctags" for this (and I still do, just because I've already got that workflow set up).
How do you know you have zero interest in it if you didn’t know it existed?
Ahh, I see what you mean
My experience, with a wide variety of generally older friends & associates & such -

If they're talking about an occasional visit to the casino, people will be up front about the fact that they walked into the place with $X in their pocket, and walked out with $Y. Almost always, $X > $Y.

If they're talking about stocks they've bought, people will be incredibly selective, and describe only some of their greatest successes. They could lose money in a rising market, and you'd have to carefully question them to even realize that fact.
>They are both widely available

okay. i'm with you.

>cheap,

by what definition of cheap are we using? compared to the national debt? compared to college tuition? but the local state fair is anything but cheap where the price of a corn dog in coupons is $12.

>and by and large reasonably safe.

and again, i'm going to have a bit of a quibble.

overall, I think the fair experience in your area is different from my experience
It strikes me as odd that India is not talked about more the caste system goes against 500 years of Western philosophy. I suspect there will be a lot of issues with integration.
For most of my projects, the key value I can add is in understanding business needs, translating them to technical requirements, and ensuring sensible choices of data structures, APIs, libraries, etc. Rarely is code generation the rate limiting step.

I do find autocomplete and language servers useful for avoiding typos, but typically there is already some form of compilation, type checking, or linting to ensure valid code.
The Expanse (book series) has a nice quote about water that "had been piss and tears and sweat and blood. The circle of life on Ceres was so small you could see the curve."

(Can't remember if these 2 are actually back-to-back, or even from the same book, but I think they were. Been a few years).
Depends on the cost. If it's very cheap I would immediately start a few startups, ideas are endless and I don't even need to have ideas. This would be proportional to how cheap it is and how many agents I get access to at once.

Of course, realistically it would not be cheap just based on demand, let alone the resources it uses, which I think is the real reason why it won't replace as many jobs as people fear. The answer all along is going to be that humans are cheaper to employ. I suspect that this will be the case for several years as the technology matures and this should give countries extra time to adapt.
